Pave de Paris

Discover the essence of French artisanal cheese with our Pavé de Paris, meticulously crafted by La Ferme de la Tremblaye in the picturesque La Boissière-École, Yvelines. This farmhouse cheese is a harmonious blend of whole, pasteurized cow's and goat's milk, resulting in an uncooked semi-pressed paste and an ash rind.

Shaped like the iconic paving stones of Paris, Pavé de Paris pays homage to the history of the French capital. This masterpiece weights approximately 1 kilogram and boasts a meticulously sculpted black crust, ashy with vegetable charcoal, and a white-gray down, mirroring the realistic appearance of Parisian cobblestones.

Pavé de Paris is a testament to unique know-how, crafted on the farm using traditional methods. The meticulous molding process in alternating layers of cow's milk curd and goat's milk curd makes this cheese truly exceptional. Optimum maturation occurs over approximately 3 months, but enthusiasts may savor its flavors well beyond that (we certainly do)!

Indulge in the excellence of Pavé de Paris, a masterpiece born from the heart of sustainable farming and French artisanal cheese-making.
